The rooms are clean and the grounds groomed with... - Review of Sundown Inn

My wife and I have been staying at the Sundown Inn for several years. The Inn was recommended to us years ago by a business associate and we have enjoyed staying here ever since. The owners are very pleasant and are there to meet the customers needs with a smile always. The rooms are clean and the grounds groomed with beautiful flowers always in bloom. The Inn is a hop, skip and a jump to all of the Morro Bay attractions. It is the best all around value in Morro Bay.

we have been comming to the usa for quite a few years on our twice yearly motorcycle trip and have stayed at various motels in morro bay,after reading tripadvisor reports we decided to try the sundown inn,it is in a quiet location 2 blocks from the waterfront.we were greeted by a smiling little lady who gave us the keys to view the room before we decided,we were able to park the bike right outside the door,the room was clean and comfortable,because this was advercado weekend all the other motels had inflated there prices,at $79 this was ideal so we stayed again on our return trip back up california,would highly recomend.

This little privately owned motel was a great find thanks to fellow Tripadvisor reviewers. A little retro but definitely sparkling clean. Comfortable bed, good shower (but pink tile!). Smiling and helpful management who obviously take pride in their business. Walking distance to waterfront and restaurants. Great value.

Old type single story motel, you know the type. very old fashioned, and not in a good way. The bathroom was tacky and not very clean, although everything was so old it would be hard to make it look clean. Walls are thin so bring earplugs in case you have noisy neighbours. I didn't like the mouldy smell either. I know you may think that it would be quaint to stay here, but think about it!

We spent two nights in Morro Bay, and were absolutely delighted with Sundown Inn. The room was spacious, the bathroom ok and we had a frigde and a coffee maker in the room. Everything is 2 blocks away in this town, the centre, the breakfast place, the off licsence, massage place, the laundromat - we loved it!This is absolutely value for money, and the owner was very helpful and also gave us a discount for the local breakfast place, which served a super nice breakfast. I would definetely stay here if I ever found myself travelling to Morro Bay again :)

I am extremely spoiled when it comes to hotels and live around 240 nights per year in top hotels around the world traveling on business. I usually prefer big chain hotels since they give me upgrades, free nights etc. I checked tripadvisor for hotels in Morro Bay and this small motel stuck out immediately due to the great reviews for budget motel. I am very happy that I gave it a shot and highly recommend this unique little refuge of tranquility. It felt like staying over at my moms guest room for a couple of nights. I enjoyed chatting with the owners - A genuinely friendly couple from Taiwan that keeps their motel in pristine condition while running a successful business with obvious pride since more than 30 years. The rooms are spacious enough, quite comfortable, interestingly stylish (Miss Marple would love it) and really very cozy - they simply have a good atmosphere. The wifi was actually faster than in most big hotels, TV channel selection was good, the shower was nice and the antique massage bed function worked amazingly great. The fridge and microwave were a plus. Owner gave me extra coffee, coupons for breakfast discount at restaurant around the block and a lot of kind hospitality. Two minute walk to waterfront district with all the restaurants, cruises, kayak rentals; two minute drive to the park and 15 minute walk to the rock. Perfect stay for $65 per night - thank you very much/xie xie ni. I will be back.

Room Tip: The walls are a little bit thin - try to stay at corner room or change room in case of noisy neighbo...

This is what budget travel should be all about. A beautiful, sparkling little motel in a charming seaside town. I travel to Morro Bay regularly and simply love the Sundown Inn. It's cute, very clean, close to everything, and has outstanding management.

The decor is very nice. Flat screen TVs with wifi that actually works. The shower is great!

I like to check in - rest for a bit- then walk down to the waterfront. Morro Bay is slower and feels more relaxed than the other seaside towns. I cannot recommend a place more highly. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy the quiet.
